Latter-day Profiles Season 46 Episode 1 / Ed & Wanda Willis / “From Panther to Priesthood”

For Ed Willis, life was one harsh blow after another. Born into generational poverty within a system that was not designed for the success of Black men, most of his options led to dead ends. But in between jail time, drug addiction, unemployment, the struggles of racism, and family strife, there were brief flashes when the light of Christ touched Ed's heart, instilling in him a desire to know and to be more.  Ed and his wife Wanda share how a lifetime of struggles and hardships prepared them to receive the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
